My Ride: 2010 VW Passat Wagon 2.0l Tsi
Grey/Grey Budapest 18"
Lost to HPFP issues:
08 535i sport pkg
Lost to Dreaded E61 Sun roof leaks:
07 E61 530Xi
I finally have some good news... my CPO 530ix E61 came in this am... while the 535i sits waiting... and waiting for it's last day.
The 535I has been parked for about 1.5weeks now. It is on its second out (5 strikes!).
Only bad thing out of getting the CPO, is that the driver of the carrier was to call me the day before he got in town so I could meet him, so Instead he calls right after the wife dropped me off at work with no car...
So now the wife has to do the walk around and delivery inspection.... Here's to hoping nothing goes wrong....
I know she is pissed having to do it , but now she won't have to drive me to work any more.

I think I may have done a bad thing by letting her pick up the car...
She wants it , loves the Panoramic Roof.
I had a feeling that this may happen.
Also when I post picks take it easy on me... The car had Chrome I think style 123's which will get ditched for 124 or 166's
But for now they will do till after Xmas...

Remember..the 124's are 18 inch apposed to the 166's whch are 19 inch. Enjoy the new car and I'm alternating driving time with my wife.

S.O.A.B.!
I went out to my "New" CPO e61 this am , The electronics have gone Berserk!...
Here are the ERRORS:
TPMS
Load leveling fault
Radio in and out
Idrive screen dies
rain sensing wipers some times work
I locked the car last night and it was then unlocked this am
The auto rear hatch would not work
Engine malfunction
No Seatbelt warning....
On the bright side the car turned over ton problems and the headlights and break lights worked....seemed Peppier or like it had more power than yesterday, other than it's lit up like the Space shuttle on the dash....
Think I have a Leak? We got 3-4+" of rain last night from the tropical storm...
I drove the car around with no issues yesterday for like 1.5 Hours....
Trying to get in touch with my service adviser or my contact at Customer service...
I'm Absolutely at the end of my ropes with the BMWs... frigging HPFP's
